Last week, I was in the middle of updates for my website when a sudden accident threw my plans out of whack. While sipping a cup of hot tea, a few drops spilled on my laptop. The result was a damaged computer that was unable to function, leaving me feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

As I juggled website updates and rest, I was reminded of the importance of self-care in building my business. I preach the significance of beauty, leisure, and spaciousness, and yet, I need to practice prioritizing these things. Rest and comfort are essential to success.

After stressing for a few days, I focused on embracing the change in plans. It was a challenging but liberating experience that taught me to find peace amidst chaos. Ultimately, my damaged laptop taught me to trust in the timing. The website will be ready when it's ready, which will be the exact right time.

The wax seal of an hourglass with the French inscription "Le temps passe mais l'amitié reste" carries a beautiful and powerful message. Translated to English, it means "Time passes, but friendship remains." The hourglass is a symbol of the passage of time, reminding us of the finite nature of our existence. The sand slowly trickling through the glass is a constant reminder that time waits for no one. However, the inscription on the seal emphasizes the importance of friendships that endure the test of time. Using this seal on a letter conveys a message of enduring friendship and loyalty. It signifies that even though time may pass, the bond of friendship will remain unbroken. It is a beautiful and meaningful way to seal a letter to a dear friend, reminding them of the value of the bond that connects you.

Featured Wax Color : Hera

When the new site launches, there will be three new colors with a very special property -- They are all lightly scented! The scent is released when the wax melts and fades as the wax cools, creating a sensory experience to add to your letter writing.

Introducing the exquisite Hera Sealing Wax, a bright and sunny yellow-colored wax that will transport you to the ancient temples of Greece. Infused with the rich, balsamic aroma of frankincense, this wax is sure to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your letters and envelopes.

According to legend, Hera was particularly fond of frankincense, and it was believed that burning the resin would please her and bring her favor. As a result, frankincense was often used as a symbol of devotion to Hera, and was a common offering made in her name.

As you melt the wax, the subtle scent of frankincense will fill your senses, creating a calming and meditative atmosphere. The fragrance is both uplifting and grounding, helping you to focus and center your thoughts as you seal your letters. While the scent of frankincense fades as the wax cools, the memory of the experience will linger.

Let's channel Hera's strength, wisdom, and resilience this week. Let's cherish our relationships and find beauty in the everyday. With a sense of purpose and determination, we can face the challenges ahead with confidence, even with minor slips and spills.
